Going through the motions everyday, we tend to overlook the seemingly inconsequential things – like the sounds and hums that make up the background of our activities. We particularly love this episode of Voice Notes because even more than the responses, we got people to pause and think and be a little more aware of their surroundings for even a few seconds.

What’s your favourite non-musical sound? You might not even be conscious of how much you love the bells of the cathedral or the muezzin’s call to worship until you actually think about it. Or maybe the sound of your dad’s keys hitting the centre table. Or the chaotic voices and honking and revving and just all that noise that’s typical of Lagos that you don’t you realize you miss till you’re miles away?
